¡á Book review
Manaquette, the naughty pig boy made a noise with thoughtless words
Infant children have a lot of curiosity about the objects and surroundings. They grow and their faculties are developed as doing outdoor and explore activities.
Manaquette, the young pig boy, went out of his house and explored the village with a lot of curiosity while his mommy pig was taking a nap. He provoked his friends to anger with thoughtless words. But, then, he was in danger and discarded by his friends. This short story has taught us a valuable lesson, "If you are respectful to others, then will also treat you with respect." And this book is funny yet touching.

The pig family members were taking a nap.
The youngest, Marquette, furtively opened his eyes.
¡°Okay, let¡¯s go explore the village!¡± Marquette quietly got out of his house.
Marquette encountered a donkey with long ears.
¡°Marquette, aren¡¯t you hot? Let¡¯s hang out under the shade here.¡±
¡°No, I don¡¯t want to hang out with a donkey like you,
who only has hideous, longish ears.
Marquette encountered a turtle slowly crawling. ¡°Hi, Marquette. Can I join your journey?¡± ¡°Psh, a turtle that crawls along only this slow can¡¯t catch me up¡±
Marquette encountered a frog with a big mouth.
¡°Marquette, why are you so excited?
¡°It¡¯s none of your business. You better just sew up your big mouth.¡±
Finally, Marquette just arrived at fences with thorny bushes.
¡°Sniff, sniff. It smells good here. Getting out of my shelter was definitely a great idea.¡± Marquette rooted up and ate carrots.
